Very true markear1.. Trap always plays with 2 holding­ midfielders and 2 wingers...full stop.Reid doesnt fit­ into this formation and we have have 10 from 12pts.Lets­ face it Reid is not a great player and he never­ was.Dunphy is just filling Irish peoples minds that­ Reid is the saviour but in fact he is anything­ but.Stephen Reid and Finnan (Eventho he is stranded­ Spain)are much needed for the rest of the campaign but­ even after that we are still short a decent centre­ midfielder.Hard to say where Trap would fit Stephen­ Ireland into his plans

Whats all this rubbish about andy reid. He can't­ even hold down his spot at SUNDERLAND honestly think­ about, eamonn dunphy has got into your head Who we­ really need is stephen ireland, a fit stephen reid and­ steve finian.

Bit of a joke when the moderator won't allow you­ give a opinion of football but will allow othrs­ advertise their wares.
LOL.!!!!!!!!!

The main thing is the result. Italy struggled against­ Cyprus and Georgia as well. Yes it turned on a­ ridiculous decison but that doesn't change the fact­ Ireland dominated the game all the way through and the­ Georgians spent the entire evening fouling, time­ wasting and diving. So @#$% them basically.

Ireland have no killer instinct. We need Andy Reid in­ to play the killer ball. Its what was missing in every­ game under Trappatoni. McGeady did well in the seond­ half but his final cross can be dissapointing!

Ireland teams have always struggled to be convincing­ against sides they are 'supposed' to beat­ (Malta, Cyprus, San Marino) and have a habit of upping­ their performance levels against better teams (France,­ Holland, Spain). There's a lack of real quality in­ several positions and the team is young and­ inexperienced so, while it may not be pretty at times,­ it is definitely to Trappatoni's credit that we are­ in the position we are in. Wish he'd give Andy­ Reid more of a go though...

no matter what they say about the ref , is a game to be­ won , we hav won period

i know it was not a penalty, but if you look at the­ replay, the georgian defender gently guides his arm­ towards the ball and i think that is why the ref gave­ the penalty

The luck of the Irish was certainly with us this time­ and beleive me it was LUCK with the HELP of the reff..­ with the exception of Damien Duff,Shay Given,Kevin­ Doyle,Aiden McGeady we really had nothing to shout­ about..Ok 2-1 on the night was a great result but i­ tell ya what when we do come up against Italy we are­ gonna get killed unless something drastic is done to­ sort this RUBBISH football out..we played a bit better­ in the second half but overall it was sad to look at..I­ thought at the end of the match 1-1 would have been a­ fair score but a win is a win and it all goes down on­ record ... Regards

I think this result is a fair result for Ireland, the­ penalty was obviously a bizarre decision but if you­ look at the game over 90 minutes and also the goal that­ ireland had disallowed which seemed legitimate and the­ cynical and constant fouling by the georgian players it­ is a fair result. Ireland has it's fair share of­ dodgy refereeing decisions in the past, one that is­ permanently etched in my mind was the goal at the 1988­ European championships against holland and knocked­ ireland out in what is considered one of the great­ Dutch teams , the goal scored by a certain Wim Kieft­ who was clearly offside and Holland went on to win­ european cup in. That said it dosn't exonerate the­ ref from last night but it also leaves me with a clear­ conscience as we deserve a slice of luck for a change.

sudia pidarast!!!!!!@#$% this referee

good idea i will aswell

1) First offside: player, that is "passively"­ standing in front of the goalkeeper, cannot be­ considered to be in "passive offside".
2) No­ comments on fishy penalty
3) Second goal was scored by­ irish team, after Kean fouled against georgian­ defender

All in all: more of a shame than a game,­ where referree's mistakes decided everything.

Lucky!

I think Seán Fay was watching another football match­ instead of this game. Ireland totally dominated after­ conceding early. They maintained 70% possession of the­ ball for the rest of the game. The Irish were denied a­ legitamite penalty call and had a goal disallowed but­ they continued to soak up rash tackles, stood back and ­ counted as the Georgians racked up an unimpressive­ yellow card tally. It was only a matter of time before­ Irish pressure was rewarded with a goal. That it came­ via the penalty spot was almost a given as the visitors­ continued their reckless tactics and Keane's second­ goal while not pretty was well earned as he flung­ himself at a speeding cross and headed home. A well­ earned and a well deserved three points for Ireland. ­ Bring on Bulgaria and Italy.

Everyone is talking of Keane and the referee. Why dont­ you write a book called the handball, the referee, the­ offside and the Keane?
